Did Kevin Spacey Allegations Destroy "21" The Movie?

"21," a movie considered by many card counters to be their favorite movie, their Holy Grail of Blackjack movies when it comes to the world of professional blackjack seems that it may carry the mantle of possibly being a movie of disgrace and dishonor. Kevin Spacey who plays the mastermind of the MIT Blackjack Team in the film has come under some serious allegations of late. House of Cards has been suspended as well... "Production on House of Cards has been suspended indefinitely following the sexual harassment claim made against star and executive producer Kevin Spacey."

I have to admit that I have the movie "21" among my collection. If the allegations stick, I'll trash the movie or yet burn it. The best movie on Blackjack has not been made yet. If they ever do make another Blackjack movie hopefully queers like Kevin Spacey don't act in it. Also, the movie "21" doesn't rank as the best gambling movie of all time in my opinion. Neither does Rounders! That movie is horrible as well.

Hearing card counters on Gambling With An Edge (GWAE) or Blackjack the Forum saying that the movie "21" is the movie that got them in the game of Blackjack is like hearing poker players say that Rounders is their favorite poker movie , or a Playboy bunny saying that Julia Roberts is their favorite actor. No originality, all the same like a bunch of robots.

Holy Grail Blackjack Movie... Tarnished Image

How many other Blackjack Forums out there will discuss their Holy Grail of Blackjack movies now that the image has been tarnished by a Pedo & Chimo gate? "21" got released in 2008 and I can tell all of you that this movie was NOT an inspiration or an allure to me as to why I began to study and play the game of Blackjack in the first place. I first heard about card counting in the 2002 time frame and I cannot remember how, where, or why I had heard about it.

It's definitely time for a new Blackjack movie. It would be nice to see a new, refreshing Blackjack movie come out depicting Al Francesco's early Blackjack play and how he organized his team play tactics and how Uston was brought on and how they ended up having a falling out. Or a movie about the Tommy Hyland Team and their exploits as it pertains to Blackjack. Lastly, maybe they could make a movie about James Grosjean and how he got roughed handled & mistreated by the casinos that he sued in court and won.

After these Kevin Spacey allegations have gone unchecked and unbalanced for so long, it's time for something new from the coked-out, burnt-out Hollywood degenerates.

An Appropriate Ending

Man Describes Alleged Extended Sexual Relationship He Had at Age 14 With Kevin Spacey

Where there is smoke, there is fire. I have to wonder if Spacey ever got invited to the Blackjack Ball.

"After Rapp’s public statement, a man who was friendly with a member of the New York staff approached the magazine to talk about Spacey. At the age of 14, he says, he began a sexual relationship with the actor, who was then 24, that ended with what he describes as an attempted rape. The man is now a 48-year-old artist living on the East Coast with a long-term partner, and he wishes to remain anonymous. “I have worked really hard to have a nice life and feel safe, and I’m not giving that up for him,” he told me, sitting outside on a park bench. “I don’t want them to be able to find their way back to me.”"
